`vlIIlIIlPRO'VEIVIIEN'I IN CORN-PLOWS.

, -O4OH The Schedule referred to in Vthere Letters Patent andmaking part of the-same.

To ,all whom 'it may conm-1 1.-

' from the inside of the centre of the wheel, forward and upward, across the top, and down to the centre of the other wheel.

Second, in crooked or curved plow-beams, 'when coupled to a crooked or curved draught-bar, forward 4of the centre ofthe wheels, thereby removing all fleckdraught, and allowing the plows to move outside of the wheels.

Third, in placing the double-trees back of and over the point of the plow-beams, thereby giving lightness of draught to the plows.

Fourth, in placing a bar back of the draught-bar, and running across the top, down outside of the wheels, for the purpose of gaining a bearing outside of arid giving steadiness to the wheels.

. Fifth, in the peculiar device for coupling the plowbeamsto the curved draught-bar. In order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I-will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring tc'the annexed drawings,.which form a part of this specification,- and in which- Figure lis a side view, and

Figure 2,'a plan View. A represents the wheels, from the centre of which and on' the inner side thereof, a curved or crooked draught-bar B, and extends backwards so far that its rear end is secured on its top side to a bar, E, which l extends across the top of the wheels, and down on the The double-tree D is pivoted on the tongue C, back A ofthe draught-bar, and over the points of the plowbeams F F, thereby shortening the draught. v

The curved or crooked plow-beams F F are coupled to the draught-bar B in the following manner: The points a a, of the beams areforked, with a pin, b, passing through, so that the pin forms a hinge with the plate c, which is pivoted on the draught-bar B, and bent aroimd the pin b, by which arrangement the plows can be moved to either side, as may be desired.

On the lower side of the bar E are two hooks,.d d, which serve to suspend the plow-beams, when moving the machine from one field to anothen` .Y

G Grepresent the arms of the plow-beams, to which the plows I I are fastened, and H H are the handles:

ofthe plows.

Having thus fully described my invention, l

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Len` ters Patent, is

1. The curved draught-bar B, running from the inside of the centre of the -wheels forward and upward, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. Thearrangement of the onrved'plowsbeams F F, coupled to the curved draught-bar B, as and for the vpurposes herein set forth.
